The Larmor radius for an electron with a mass mem_e and charge ee moving in a magnetic field BB perpendicular to the velocity of electron vv can be calculate as


r=meveB,r=\frac{m_ev}{eB},


substituting the numerical values, we get


r(v,B)=5.6861012vB.r(v,B)=\frac{5.686\cdot10^{-12}\cdot v}{B}.

For an ion of mass mm and charge qq , the same equation can be applied under the conditions stated above:


r=mvqB.r=\frac{mv}{qB}.
